FLOWER SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 469,216, dated February 16, 1892.

Application filed September 5 1891. Serial No. 404.866. (No model.)

To all'wwm t may concern,.-

Be it known that I, JAMES W. QUINN, a citip zen of the United States, and a resident of North Madison, in the county of Jefferson and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Flower-Stands; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompamarked thereon, which form a part of this specication.

Figure l of the drawings is a perspective view of the stand, and Figs. 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are detail views. This invention has relation to stands for fiower-pots5 and it consists in the novel construction and combination of parts, as hereinafter specified.

In the accompanying drawings, the letter A designates the base or support, which may be either of circular or angular forni, supported upon rollers or casters a. B designates a standard or post supported in bearings in said base and revoluble thereon.

D designates the pot-holding arms or brackets, which are shown as arranged in three scries located alternately of each other. These arms or brackets consist of the horizontal portions d, provided at their outer ends with the loops or supports d for the pots and of the brace portions cl2. The inner ends of the arms are provided with transverse heads f, which are held in slots f formed by shoulders f2 on lugs F, secured to the post or standard, the arm resting in vertical slots gin said lugs. Y The lower ends of the braces are supported in notches or recesses h, formed in said stand-l 4o ards. These brackets may be formed of sheet metal, or they may be made of wire, as shown in Fig. 1. They may also be made of wood, as shown in Fig. 5.

Instead of forming the lugs F with the shoulders f2, a notch lo may be cut in the post or standard to receive the head f. On top of the post may be provided a seat K for a single pot. The whole may be given a neat and ornamental appearance.

In the drawings I have shown the post or standard as carrying three series of brackets, with four in each series; but it will be understood that any suitable number of brackets may be employed.

The brackets in the dierent series may be of 'dierent lengths.

' Having described this invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,

A {lower-stand comprising the base, the post revoluble thereon, and a series of brackets carried by said post, said brackets being arranged alternately of each other in series and comprising each an arm having a potsupporting loop at its outer end, a cross-head at its inner end engaging a slotted and shouldered lug secured to the post, andan oblique brace connected to said arm at one end and supported in the post at itsv other end, substantially as specified.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

JAMES YV. QUINN.
